Who’s joining me for Ready, Set, September? We start our 5-day Virtual (Re)Treat today! Are you packed and ready to go? The first video is posted below! Grab your notebook and pen! Why are we doing this? Because daily self-care is the key to a joyful life and a cozy, clean home! If you are feeling tired, overwhelmed or fed up of going round in circles and never achieving anything, I am here to help you! Together we’re creating a hygge home and a joyful life… Let’s go! Rah, rah, rah!

Virtual Retreat: self-care and Flylady

Here’s the packing list I mentioned in the video…

PACKING LIST

It would be great if you could bring the following items with you to our Virtual (Re)Treat. No worries if you don’t have them, absolutely not essential.

A container to store your “pamper items”. (Remember, please don’t buy anything! Use an old basket, tote bag, box.) Don’t know what to put into your pamper basket? See below!
